Image Textifier...

Useless, but fun. Here's a screenshot.

Basically, you give it an image (PNG or JPG/JPEG is all I wrote support for), set some effects, and run the script. You then get a bunch of text.

You can use a glow effect, use random characters or one you specify, force "wobble removal" by using the "courier" font so characters are monospaced, or use your own custom text. Mix and match effects, try it out.

It's not nearly as cool as http://text-image.com/, but it's still a little bit of fun. Requires the GD library to run.

$dpx = 9; // Pixel differential - The samller you make this, the larger the image (and the time it takes to make it)
$repl = '#'; // Character to use in the image. Using effects may alter this
$font = 'arial'; // Font to use for the text. Using effects may alter this
$image_name = 'image.png'; // Name of the picture to use

/* Adds a glow to the image, radiating from the center */
$effect_glow = true;

/* When enabled, the font is set to what you chose above. This will enable variable character lenghts and create a weird-looking image */
$effect_wobble = true;

/* Uses your text string to form the image */
/* NOTE: THIS OVERRIDES EFFECT_RANDOM_CHAR */
$effect_my_text = false;
/* The text string for your image */
$my_text = 'I can place whatever text I want here and then it will be used to create the image. Cool, huh?';
